Technical Abstract

A method of transmitting feedback data in a multiple antenna system comprises receiving a request message of feedback data on a downlink channel, the request message comprising uplink scheduling information, selecting a set of M (M≧1) subbands within a plurality of subbands, generating the feedback data, the feedback data comprising a frequency selective PMI (precoding matrix indicator), a frequency flat PMI, a best band CQI (channel quality indicator) and a whole band CQI, and transmitting the feedback data on a uplink channel allocated to the uplink scheduling information.

Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

1

1. A transmitter for transmitting feedback data in a multiple antenna system, the transmitter comprising: a processor configured to: receive a request message of feedback data on a downlink channel, the request message comprising uplink scheduling information; select a set of M subbands within a plurality of subbands, wherein M is greater than or equal to 1; generate the feedback data, the feedback data comprising a frequency selective precoding matrix indicator (PMI), a frequency flat PMI, a best band channel quality indicator (CQI) and a whole band CQI, the frequency selective PMI indicating an index of a precoding matrix selected from a codebook over the M selected subbands, the frequency flat PMI indicating an index of a precoding matrix selected from the codebook over the plurality of subbands, the best band CQI indicating a CQI value over the M selected subbands, the whole band CQI indicating a CQI value over the plurality of subbands; and transmit the feedback data on an uplink channel allocated to the uplink scheduling information.

2

2. The transmitter of claim 1 , wherein the feedback data further comprises a rank indicator (RI), the RI corresponding to the number of useful transmission layers, and the best band CQI and the whole band CQI are calculated for each transmission layer.

3

3. The transmitter of claim 1 , wherein the feedback data further comprises a resource indicator which represents positions of the M selected subbands.

4

4. The transmitter of claim 1 , wherein the downlink channel is a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH).

5

5. The transmitter of claim 1 , wherein the uplink channel is a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH).

6

6. The transmitter of claim 1 , wherein the best band CQI has a differential CQI value with respect to the whole band CQI.

7

7. The transmitter of claim 1 , wherein the uplink scheduling information comprises an indicator indicating transmission of the feedback data and uplink radio resource assignment.

8

8. The transmitter of claim 1 , wherein the set of M subbands is selected within the plurality of subbands according to a CQI for each subband.

9

9. The transmitter of claim 1 , wherein the frequency flat PMI indicates the index of a precoding matrix selected from the codebook for all of the plurality of subbands.

10

10. A transmitter for transmitting feedback data in a multiple antenna system, the transmitter comprising: a processor configured to: select a set of M subbands within a plurality of subbands, wherein M is greater than or equal to 1; generate the feedback data, the feedback data comprising a frequency selective precoding matrix indicator (PMI), a frequency flat PMI, a best band channel quality indicator (CQI) and a whole band CQI, the frequency selective PMI indicating an index of a precoding matrix selected from a codebook over the M selected subbands, the frequency flat PMI indicating an index of a precoding matrix selected from the codebook over the plurality of subbands, the best band CQI indicating a CQI value over the M selected subbands, the whole band CQI indicating a CQI value over the plurality of subbands; and transmit the feedback data to a base station.

11

11. The transmitter of claim 10 , wherein the feedback data further comprises a rank indicator (RI), the RI corresponding to the number of useful transmission layers, and the best band CQI and the whole band CQI are calculated for each transmission layer.

12

12. The transmitter of claim 10 , wherein the feedback data further comprises a resource indicator which represents positions of the M selected subbands.
